Chapter 162: Dark Clouds Overcome the City (Part 2)
Selkirk looked at the naval warship opposite him coldly, and a pirate next to him asked, "Second, what should I do?"
Selkirk didn't even look at him: "The captain said that the city was closed, then no one was allowed to come in and no one was allowed to go out."
"But the opposite side is the navy..." the pirate hesitated.
Selkirk reached out and stuck the pirate's neck, threw him off the bow of the ship with force, and cursed: "A waste who is afraid of life and death."
Selkirk ordered another pirate beside him: "Send two ships to follow the warships. If there is any abnormal movement, just launch a cannon and sink them."
With the lessons of the unlucky guy just now, the pirate who heard the order did not dare to show any hesitation. He quickly responded and left the bow of the ship.
After the pirate left, Selkirk continued to look at the naval warship. The two ships were not far away. People like Selkirk could already see the heads surging on the opposite deck. There seemed to be a person looking at the bow of the ship with a telescope. Selkirk showed a sneer in the direction where the other party was.
Selkirk was born in the North Sea and went to Great Shipping. He was not afraid of the Navy in the East Sea. He was also rebuked by William for charging tolls for passing ships, so he did not dare to give any discount to William's orders.
This is also why William asked Harden to send Selkirk to the terminal blockade.
On the navy's warship, a naval major put down his telescope, cursed in a low voice, and then asked someone else: "Have the officer's phone number been connected?"
"It's connected!" A soldier hurriedly handed over the phone bug.
Before the naval major could speak, a voice came from the other side of the phone bug: "Which pirates are blocking the dock?"
The Navy Major glanced at the pirate flag fluttering in the wind opposite. On the black flag, the skull seemed to be looking down at others, with a stern smile on the corner of his mouth, and the letter "m" on the triangle hat on his head was quite conspicuous.
In fact, most of the pirates in this world are painted by individuals, including graffiti works by laymen. However, William, a workplace elite in his previous life, paid great attention to the brand image. Even the pirate flag was designed by professionals, and he can be called an alien in the pirate industry.
His pirate flag is definitely outstanding and can be remembered at a glance.
"It's the Morgan Pirates." The Navy Major replied.
"Morgan Pirates?" the commander at the other end of the phone muttered in confusion, and then ordered, "Don't act rashly, don't have conflicts with them."
The navy captain said anxiously: "Sir, but..."
The person on the other end of the phone bug interrupted without hesitation: "Major, this is an order!"
After the other party said that, he hung up the phone. The Navy Major gritted his teeth and glanced at the pirate ship opposite him, and ordered unwillingly: "Let's go back to the dock."
...
People in the noble district did not know that the entire city's docks were blocked by William, or that they were no longer in the mood to pay attention to the docks.
The commotion in the slums gradually expanded, and some thugs were no longer willing to rob the poor people in the same area. Under the leadership of those who had ulterior motives, they began to step into the civilian areas. What's more, some people had already gone to the noble areas to steal or even rob. The whole city was in chaos, and even the noble areas were not spared.
The Minister of Home Affairs Earl Reard was also considered to be decisive. Since he made up his mind to eliminate Arcadio, he saw the riots appear, so he commanded the guards to attack Arcadio's manor. Unfortunately, Arcadio was prepared for a long time. He arranged many people in his home and hid many new bolt rifles and revolvers. In addition, he could use bunkers for defense. There were no masters on the side of Reard, so Arcadio's manor could not be conquered for a while.
The originally quiet and peaceful aristocratic area suddenly turned into a battlefield with bullets flying everywhere. Gunshots were constantly coming near the manor of Arcadio. Some nobles who were not helping each other hid at home and shivered, unable to understand why the city changed in just a few days.
Arcadio pretended to be calm and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. He had lost his former calmness. Today, he would have power. Even if a certain dynasty usurped the throne, there would be no chance. If the matter failed, his Buendia family would definitely disappear.
"Is there any news from the army?" Alcateo asked sternly.
The Interior Minister Reilde has no title and must deal with Arcadio as soon as possible. When he finds that the manor cannot be captured, he will definitely dispatch troops.
The housekeeper Eton was frightened by Alcatel's tone and ran out of the room. After a while, he ran back with a telephone bug: "Master, the city garrison has been dispatched."
Alcatio's eyebrows trembled for a moment, and quickly took the phone call and called William. After the call was connected, he said anxiously without waiting for William to speak: "The army has been dispatched from Rield, and you can also send troops!"
"Okay," William's tone seemed calm, and he asked, "How is your situation?"
Arcadio looked towards the window, and the gunshots outside the window were getting worse: "You can still hold on."
The two of them said a few more words and hung up the phone. Arcadio breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the chair, and stroked his left chest, where his heart was beating violently.
Reard dispatched his army and could not escape the charge of rebellion no matter what. After today, Arcadio was the one who was the only one in the Kingdom of Navia. Norton I, a foolish monarch, had no need to worry about it, and he was played with it from beginning to end.
But there is still a threat now.
After calming down a little, Arcadio got up and left the room, came to the reception room. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw two naval officers looking over with a vigilant look.
"This group of traitors actually clashed with my distinguished guests," Alcateo stepped forward quickly with apologized saying: "Col. Mouse, I'm so sorry for you this time."
The newly-recruited commander of the 16th Division of the Navy, Colonel Mouse, was regarded as a distinguished guest by Arcadio.
The mouse listened to the continuous gunfire and said unhappily: "Every time I come to you, nothing seems to happen, Lord Earl."
Alcatio raised his head and laughed, clapped his hands, and the butler Eaton was already carrying two boxes like a ghost and appeared in the room.
After Eton put the boxes on the table, Alcatio pointed to one of the boxes and said to the mouse: "Col., this is what I told you, the information of the Morgan Pirates and the Great Pirate Stort. These people have caused trouble to the waters around the Navia Kingdom for many years. Stort is even more famous for being cunning. He has always hidden his head and tail and hiding his true face. Unfortunately, I have obtained evidence of crime. Now is the time for the Navy to uphold justice!"
Colonel Mouse didn't comment: "The Morgan Pirates are not easy to mess with."
